The path is easy to walk, and there's a wooden walkway opposite the waterfall that offers a good view. It's worth sitting down; there are lots of dragonflies and amphibians.

Fervenza do Casón and very close by, the Pozo do inferno. Both are spectacular.

Go down a small path until you reach the Pozo do Inferno Waterfall. You can get very close to the waterfall using the small wooden bridge. Safe route for the whole family
